Autumn Equinox was yesterday,
This Sumac branch met me on my walk yesterday amidst the trees,
How perfect.
I can sense the gentle pause that this shifting in the seasons invites us.
It's like the pause that comes right after taking a deep inhale,
Lungs so full- yet holding the air within us is temporary,
We must exhale, we must let go.. eventually.
So, within this pause, might you savor the opportunity to reflect.
What is ready or needing to fall away?
What (metaphorical) seeds have you nurtured into existence and are ready to spread upon the Earth?
What are you harvesting within life?
How are you nourishing yourself, in all capacities?
Autumn π
It's a special time, just as each season is special, holding each their own medicine and wisdom.
Might we remember that the seasons and cycles of nature are mirrored within us, for we are created, in part, from the dust of the Earth.
